Ensemble Cables? Anyone Use them?

B W Subwoofer ASW-2000 vs. ASW-2500
The 2500 is a good sub but it doesn't seem to go as deep as the 2000 making it better for music than HT. HT use demands that IMPACT, SLAM and super low frequency that honestly neither produce but... the 2000 does better job at. I've read that ACI ...

Absolute Speaker Cables

Tri-Wire Cables
Garfish... Thanks! I am glad to hear that. I'd hate to have a run of Cardas, Audioquest and Silver Audio for each channel. What are the factory recommendations? Are your Vandersteen speakers tri-wire ready? 
Bob Crump Custom Power Cord
How do I find out where to get one of Bob's REAL cables? And... Does he donate to charity?

Tri-Wire Cables
Okay... So saying I was brave and decided to Tri-Wire with three separate runs of cable. I could even go with different manufacturers products for each driver. Shesh... That seems like the complicated way to audio nirvana! I've spent a great deal... 
Tri-Wire Cables

Tri-Wire Cables

I am stunned
Did I offend some EE's?

That's great Liguy! All the EE's I've talked to say that based on mathmatical calculations, cable design/material should make a significant difference in stereo output. But.... it's the same EE's who say they just can not HEAR the difference regar... 
Best Silver ICs under 300?
Silver Audio makes fabulous and BEAUTIFUL cables. I believe you can find them used for under 300.00. The high end Appassionata costs a couple/few hundred more than your 300.00 limit as a new piece. All models of Silver Audio cable will add air an...
